Paul, the proprietor of the newspaper kiosk and cafe at Worcester Park Station has kindly agreed to sell a unique postcard, featuring the 1926 painting of Worcester Park, by Jack Ducker, with all profits from the postcard sales going to support a local charity.
These postcards were especially commissioned to raise charitable funds for our local hospice, St. Raphael's. With a kind donation from Waitrose Worcester Park towards the production costs, the cost of each card worked out at 33.6p. Selling for £1 each, the profit of exactly 66.4p per card will be entirely donated to St. Raphaels.
It's hoped that the postcards will prove popular with local residents, raising a worthwhile sum for St. Raphael's Hospice. Also, we hope they will shortly be available at other locations in the London Borough of Sutton.
The painting and the postcards are featured in an article written by Sophia Sleigh, in this week's (4th October 2012) Sutton Local Guardian [page 10].
